World Ranking: 2nd
Age: 24
Personality: Megan is an introvert who never quite fit in for most of her life. She’s prone to hyperfixation on the things that interest her, which may not be relatable to others, and often struggles to maintain a conversation about anything else. She’s a nice and easy-going person beneath the awkward exterior, but she struggles to maintain friendships, as she can never really tell whether people enjoy her presence or just tolerate her. She can be grumpy when suffering from lack of sleep, which is often, but she tries not to take it out on people.
Backstory: Megan grew up as a sharp but introverted child, who preferred the world of books and games over social gatherings. She was never entirely friendless, but wasn’t very good at making those friendships last long-term. She played many games over the years, but really got into the Rift Warriors franchise during high school. Her tendency to hyperfixate on details, such as frame data, made her quite good at the game. As a habitual loner, competitive gaming offered her a much-needed sense of community, one where intellect and skill mattered more than appearances or social standing.
It was only natural that she went on to participate in tournaments. Primarily, it was a way to challenge herself and achieve something with the skills she had been building up anyways, but she also enjoyed connecting to her fellow players in a social context that she actually understood. Unlike many other high-ranking players, she didn’t have much of a public online presence, but spent her non-gaming time on earning an engineering degree. She never got around to getting a job in that field before the Rift Warriors IX world championship demanded her attention.
